Disp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thP

This code signifies a right-sided fracture of the lateral condyle of the femur that is no longer in its anatomical position (displaced) and has healed incorrectly (malunion). This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this closed fracture.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for a patient whose displaced lateral femoral condyle fracture on the right side has healed with a malunion. This would include visits for ongoing management, assessment of the malunion, or planning for corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" femur and "lateral condyle."
• Verify that the fracture is explicitly noted as "displaced" and has resulted in "malunion."
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for a "closed fracture" to differentiate from initial treatment or open fractures.
